Summary: This book tells the story of a curly haired girl who wants her hair to be straight and just flow through the air when she moves. She does everything to get rid of her curly and knotty hair: she wets it with water, she hangs upside down, she uses the stickiest tape she can find……., but nothing works. One day, she meets a girl who says that her hair is boring and straight, and she has tried twisting and spinning to make it curl. At the end, they figure out that they love their hair the way it is. The illustrations are hilarious and expressive. 

Suitable for students in years: 5-7
